The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is one of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture on the planet and takes place every August in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. Find out more about how to make the most of the Fringe.

Take part in the Fringe

Anyone can take part in the Fringe. We’ve created a wide range of resources, how-to guides and a digital platform, Fringe Connect, to support you as Fringe participants and make the most of everything the Fringe has to offer.

Arts industry at the Fringe

The Fringe Arts Industry team provides year-round support and guidance for arts industry members and has created Fringe Marketplace, a platform for professionals who are looking to find talent, programme work and network.
